PC gamer writes: "Torchlight creators Runic Games have found themselves in a public dispute with the creators of a Armed Heroes Online, an MMO for mobile platforms that’s currently available in the Canadian Apple App Store. In a July 13 forum thread about the game on Touch Arcade, an iOS-focused gaming site, users noticed similarities between footage of Armed Heroes Online and Torchlight.
Very soon, Runic President Travis Baldree entered the conversation. Baldree alleged that “All of the monster assets and every dungeon tileset, as well as voices, and most sound effects, are direct rips from Torchlight.” Baldree continues: “I didn’t see ANY monsters that weren’t ours.”
Following the official release of the RTX Remix runtime, modders have renewed their efforts to remaster classic PC games like Torchlight.
It’s time to announce the July Games with Gold lineup! On the Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S, capture photos of the wondrous Beasts of Maravilla Island, and survive being stranded on a desolate moon base in Relicta. And for our classic lineup via Backward Compatibility, build and ride rollercoasters in Thrillville: Off the Rails, […]
Yawn.... I will say torchlight is fun, but i have that on my steamdeck. Relicta is also on PS+ Extra and looks like it would make a cool VR game. No PSVR support though.
@Darthv72 How did you shift this story about the Xbox Games with Gold lineup into a negative about PSVR not supporting one of the games?! 🤣
Hmm... that is funny. I see it more as a negative against XB. Like other games on both, some offer a VR mode for PS and this looked like it should be one of them. Then again it doesnt even offer VR for PC so... ehh.
Why continues reporting this? Who is left that is still interested in Games with Gold?
I guess if I paid $5/month for this crap I'd still want to know what I got...
Yeah, be interesting to know. I hardly care because of Game Pass now, still don't mind seeing what we get, but I've come to terms that it's mostly going to be nothing I'll play if have GP.
They should get rid of games w gold. With Gamepass I have too many better games to even think about GWG.
So they've managed to decrease the value you get each month without decreasing revenue by making the games crappier. If they still charged $5/month without giving you ANY games at all, it would open them up to criticism and direct comparisons to PS+ without any way to subjectively spin the message
It's also part of gamepass ultimate. It's good to see since it directly competes with ps extra
This is beyond bad... kinda shitty move to force all their subscribers to get gamepass.
Technically forcing people to move to Gamepass Ultimate. Regular gamepass doesn't include Gold.
Technically you aren't forced to buy anything. And Xbox Live gold can be bought separately. https://www.xbox.com/en-US/...
What are you talking about you can still buy Xbox Live Gold on its own if you want to. You guys need to stop having conversations about Xbox if you know nothing about it. https://www.xbox.com/en-US/...
I guess the comments flew right over your head, huh? If GP was such a good value, gold would come with game pass, without having to get the more expensive opinion.
@silly - what? Point is that gold can be had WITHOUT game pass. simple as that. Nothing forcing you to buy game pass.
@ Silly, not sure what you're trying to say, you want game pass ultimate for the price of xbox live gold? That's ridiculous the amount of full price day 1 games you get included in game pass - you don't get that for cheap. Nobody is forced to get game pass, if the value is there you subscribe. if there's a drought in games you unsubscribe like i just did a month ago. Will likely get back on game pass this fall/holiday and into 2023 when the games are flooding in.
From Xfire: "The words "dungeon crawler" are defined as a genre of role-playing games wherein "heroes navigate a labyrinth environment, battling various monsters, avoiding traps, solving puzzles, and looting any treasure they may find."
Now, if you, just like every other gamer, thought immediately of any of the Diablo games when you read that, you're probably not alone.
The thing is, the Diablo franchise has been synonymous with dungeon crawlers since 1997. But while the Diablo titles have long been considered the most popular dungeon crawlers, they're far from the only ones that are worth playing."
Oh chinese, your lack of innovation is only matched by your lack of honor
It isn't just games. It's, CDs,DVDs,blue rays, clothes etc. But this is obsurd. She knows so much about similarities because her job is most likely a directive to rip off other games as fast as possible. And the Creator of torchlight worked on Diablo as well. I am not surprised but ow can u rip off original audio that they created as a joke. It's funny because why not simply change a bunch of little things. Anyway, apple wants no part of this. It's coming down. And I hope Runic just creates a similar appreciate to replace it.
SHOCK HORROR the chinese copying someone else's work? Say it ain't so.
Yet somehow the fing morons that run the companies in the US keep sending them all of their ideas for them to build. There is no free lunch. China is a COMMUNIST regime. The govt is filing plans for each and every widget we outsource to their country.
We are giving them our ideas on a silver platter.
